Title: An idea regaurding a quickmenu.
Post by: Dark Pacifist on May 03, 2014, 01:12:04 PM

I'm curios about an "addon" that would add a "quickmenu" similar to Ass's or Exsto's for on the fly administration. Like a streamlined version of the existing ulx menu. I know I'm asking for something trivial. If I knew more about lua I'd be more inclined to tear assmod and ulx apart again and make another frankenstien... but I think those incharge would rather avoid another finicky semifunctional server crasher.

Though I understand what you're asking for, most of us 'old-timers' here find pressing ~ (or whatever the console for your language/PC is) and typing ulx and first letter of the command wanted, then arrowing down from the auto select, then arrowing down to the player autoselect, quicker than using a mouse, and usually much less prone to accidental punishments.

There are a few coders here that I'd trust to do such a gui project though.

I've had a quickmenu idea like this for XGUI on my TODO list for quite a while:

It would be fairly simple to implement, but.. I still haven't had the free time to get around to it.  ???

I suppose I could try seeing how exactly other admin mods do it and see how it could work with ulx.
I am happy to see that this had been an idea before though. It was only an idea to help our assmod veterans adjust to ulx easier.

Honestly I miss console only adminmods or only having a group that are rcon acting as "staff" but as with much things, things change.

Thx for your responses and if I am successful I'll release it.

Good luck! It should be fairly simple task, but you can post here or in our developer forums- there are lots of people willing to help you out if you have problems :)

Also, I'm not sure how much coding experience you have, but these will be your friend:
